This is not a visit to a bakery in the true sense.It is a soujurn to savour waffles and donuts in the city. These sugared dough bites are prominent as an extension of sweets and desserts in any bakery menu.

Waffles and Donuts ….. crusty sweet desserts.

Mumbai Bakery Trail #3

MAD ABOUT DONUTS

I trudged into the shivaji park MOD outlet on women’s day….and lo behold they had special offer for all the lovely women gracing their outlet on this day.

A discount on any purchase made that day by a woman, was equivalent to her age 🙂
I guess for once we women didn’t have a problem disclosing our real age !

Box of mini 18 donuts

Besides the donuts MOD has a range of waffles and cupcakes to offer.
I ordered a salted caramel waffle along with my lemon iced tea.

My search for inspirational food, especially the sweet kind, is always on , believe you me, 24/7…….More often than not, I opt to go incognito, alone or with friends,tasting the best offerings of various patisseries, cafes and boulangeries in Mumbai…..and say around the world,too.

After the phenomenal response to my post on Bakeries in Margao…….I started this project to review the best of bakeries and dessert cafes in Mumbai.

I decided to keep, the now famous RedVelvetCake, as a base point of this Bakery trail.

I am a green tea addict…..add to this herbal teas and fruit tea infusions…..I can sip these endlessly, through out any hectic day.So I start by ordering a flavoured green tea accompanied by a signature macaron.

Sea salt macaron and Apple cinnamon green tea

The sea salt macaron was perfect with a mild hint of salt…..soft chewy, melting inside with crisp sugar encasing.

A bite of the lemon chilli macaron

The delicious macaron lures me to try another.Lemon chilli suggested to me is a dainty, colourful macaron….unique in taste…..But did it have a hint of coconut ??

Give me a well made vegetarian sandwich anyday !

I like the spongy tiger bread used to make the Veggie Sandwich, the clever use of marinated eggplant gives this sandwich a great dense bite.Though I couldn’t find much of the sour cream, that was promised, inside.Accompanied by an in-house salad, dotted with roasted almond bits…..this sandwich completely satisfies the hunger pangs within me.

Chefs green salad with the sandwichMacarons on display….. are a speciality here Popular desserts on the menu…that need to be tried on my bakery trailThe Home Test……..desserts that I carry back home

My Home Test……usuallychecks the portability of the desserts or cakes.

How well do they stay…..how do they taste and hold shape,after transportation.

Thumbs up to the Nutella brownie and the little flourless chocolate cupcake.

I sense and taste the use of good quality ingredients….and view cleanly finished pastry at this cafe.

Le 15 cafe was a pleasant experience….clearly reflecting the passion and commitment to taste by it’s management.

My personal thanks to Dakshita, the waiting staff…..her prompt service and interaction made my visit even more memorable
